drouth. There have been several
showers, but no heavy rains, either
last fall or this spring. The surface
SOIL is moist, but the subsoil is gener-
ally very dry, and fears are entertained
that there is not sufficient moisture to
carry the crops through the summer if
1t should be as dry as last year. The
extensive use of tiling in draining
many sloughs and small ponds, and
thus preventing evaporation aud con-
sequent rains, is suggested by careful
observers as the reason for increasing
dryness OF tho last few years. In some
Localities the tiling will be taken up to
see If the crops would not fare better
without it, allowing the soil to retain
the moisture for the dry months. The
hay crop in northern Iowa will be verv
short.

John L. MitchelPs Estimate of His
Father.

Chicago Mail: John L. Mitchell, the
son and principal heir of the late Alex
ander Mitchell, is perhaps 40 years old,
short in stature, with shrewd Scotch
face, slightly Americanized, but not
unlike that OF his father. He has a
flowing full brown beard which reach
es half way down to his waist, and
wears steel bowed speetacles. In a
quiet talk on the day he started for
Milwaukee with his fathers body Mr..
Mitchell said: "There is one side OF
my fathers life which | saw more
prominently than any other, but which
the newspapers have overlooked. They
all seem to regard him solely in the
light of fnanciering and Railroads.&c.
a great capitalist and magnate knew
him as kind hearted and generous
and loving father and genial compan-
ion. The people among whom he lived
knew him much in the same way. He
was their neighbor in every sense OF
the word. His generosity was unfail-
ing. OF course, he said, no, a great
many times to appeals that were
made to him for assistance, but he al
ways said it in way that left no Of
fense. and he was always ready to give
help when he thought it was deserved
and needed. In his family relations
there could be 40 kinder or more gen
erOuS man"

Minneapolis Advertisers.

Minneapolis advertisers were not slow
to appreciate the rapid advance in circu-
lation made by the GLOBE within the
past year, and have most literally drawn
upon its columns for announcements of
their bargains. Two years ago the
GLOBE had no business in Minneapolis
in the advertising line, and apparently
no effort had been made to obtain bust
ness, for the simple reason there was no
circulation on which to base a
claim. A year ago or more the cir
culatiOn had climbed to quite a reSpecta-
bic figure, and had begun to attract the
attention of advertisers. Since then,
however, the Minneapolis circulation
has made its most rapid strides, and has
increased over $50 per cent! From moth
ing, the advertising has run up tO-the
higheSt-tWenty-SiX columns in one edi-
ton, and the certificates of several adj
vertisers will show they get more re-
turns from the GLOBE than from any
other paper. The list of Minneapolis
very long one, but the following are the
names of some of the more prominent:
Barnes, Hengerer, Desmond IL Co.,
wholesale and retail dry goods; Segel-
baum Bros, dry goods, Ingram, Olsen
& Co., dry goods; r. S. GOodfellow &
Co., dry goods; H. o. Peterson, dry

Each of these advertisers has expressed
his satisfaction at the result of his use
of the GLOBE columns. Several
have found those results better even
then experiments with lecallN printed
papers, and all agree that thelA money
was well spent in advertising. The
GLOBE has on file at it's Minneapolis
Office certificates from the leading ad-
vertisers mentioned above, expressing
not only their satisfaction with their
business with the GLOBE; but their be-
lief that it is the best general advertising
medium in the Northwest.

Saved by His Coat Tails.

Rockford Qll.) Register.
Levi Rhoades came near being jerked
into eternity yesterday, and can thank
his lucky stars that his coat tails were
not made of corduroy or riveted together
at the seems with brass binding. If the
garment had been made of some indie
Structible, unbreakable material it is
more than likely that the big capitalist
would have been landed on the other
shore. Mr.. RhOades was down at the
paper mills looking after affairs and,
getting too near fast revolving shaft,
his coat tails caught around it and COM
menced wrapping up, threatening to
take in the whole of the slack of the
garment eventually, and jerk the gen.
tleman off his feet. In that event his
body would have been hurled round
with every revolution of the shaft and
life would have been beaten out of him.
The minute he found out what had oc-
CURED he grabbed post near by and
held on for dear life. 1t was clear case
of muscle against the texture, of the
coat tails, with bodily injury in the bal
ance.
The shaft revolved, the tension on the
coat tails increased, and the tug of war
commenced. At last the garment was
torn aSunder, and if ever music was
sweeter to Lewis ear than the sound of
the ripping of that coat, he has no re-
lmembrance of the occasion.

Terra Gotta Lumber.

The fact that the GLOBE building, the
finest Office building west of Chicago,
has been made fire-proof throughoutw with
Porous Terra Gotta is at once a tribute
to the sagacity of its owners and most
satisfactory Endorsement of the material
itself.
Its manufacture being one of the es-
tabliShed industries of ST. Paul, and its
value for building purposes being recog-
nized and approved by the leading ar
chitects here and elsewhere, it is not
necessary to enlarge upon its merits.
Suffice it to say that it has successfully
met every requirement as to strength
and resistance to fire and frost, and its
great value in residences has been prac-
tically demonstrated in numerous in
stances.

of the company, will be glad to furnish
information to those desiring it at the
